It's intriguing -- doesn't PROVE anything, but intriguing -- that (as Snopes.com reports) after making these two public "rhetorical" inquiries in the Fall of 1996, Palin tried to fire the librarian (who declared in response to the new Mayor's questions that she would oppose any efforts to ban books) two months later in Jan 1997, declaring that she didn't feel she had the librarian's "full support." (The librarian kept her job after a public outcry.)
I wasn't there, and I reckon you had to be there to interpret all this in context, but it's enough to make me wonder. Snopes rejects the idea that it ever got to the point of a specific list of books, or any books being pulled, and I assume that's true. But the general drift of what happened and what Palin's philosophical approach to this was and would be is still open to question. Not, of course, that the VP or even the P (should we become so unfortunate) has much to do in the book-burning or library-stocking area.
